**Neurons** in Alzheimer’s Disease Found Re-Entering Cell Cycle, Leading to Senescence: New Study Unveils Shocking Findings!

by

San Francisco, CA – A recent study from researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong sheds light on the behavior of neurons in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Lewy body dementia. By analyzing over 30,000 nuclei using advanced snRNA-seq techniques, the team discovered that neurons in these conditions tend to re-enter the cell cycle and quickly progress to senescence, showing signs of aging instead of completing the cycle to produce new cells. The …
